My Emporia does the same thing. Only started getting the fault after an OTA update (not sure which one). I complained to Emporia and they originally blamed the MME. When I complained a second time, they refunded my full purchase price 2 years after I purchased it. I believe if they could...

I purchased my Emporia EVSE on 4/15/2022 before they were UL listed. Didn't have any issues until about 6 months ago when the charger errors started. When I asked Emporia about it, they indicated it was the Mach-E. This year my local electrical utility started offering a ChargePoint EVSE for...

The Emporia has timing issues that causes Fordpass app and the MME to display a charging error. Looks like Nebraska has EV incentives ($500 off a ChargePoint charger) so would go that route: https://nppd.energywisenebraskagoev.com/residential-incentives/

Ampacity of a wire is based on it's size and the temperature rating of it's insulation. When current flows thru a wire it generates heat so a higher temperature rated insulation allows for a higher allowed current. More wires (conductors) grouped together and carrying the same current creates...

That's not my understanding. NM is rated for 55Amps so since there isn't a 55 Amp breaker available, then section 240.4(B) of the NEC indicates the next larger breaker size can be used: 240.4(B) Overcurrent Devices Rated 800 Amperes or Less. The next higher standard overcurrent device rating...

It meets code to use 6/3 connected to a 60A breaker. Hardwired 6/3 doesn't require a GFCI breaker like a 14-50 would.

Emporia refunded my purchase price which was great! Hoping Emporia fixes their firmware so I could use their EVSE if I need it. I prefer the Emporia app over the ChargePoint app because I can see the amps or watts being provided in real-time. The ChargePoint app just gives me snapshots.

I wasn't charged anything because they indicated the 10000 mi service wasn't listed in their system so they didn't know what to charge.

I disconnected the Emporia so can't measure how long it takes for the contactor to open. It didn't trigger a fault every time I charged, only faulted every three days or so. When the car was a load on the EVSE, I always waited for the contactor to open before I pulled the plug out and my guess...

I have the same charger fault issue with the Emporia EVSE. Emporia indicated the issue was with the Mach-E and Ford indicated it was the EVSE. I also have a ChargePoint and it never has caused a charger fault so I believe it's an Emporia hand-shake issue. I observed that when I'm charging or...

Check with your local electric utility company because there are quite a few that offer rebates on chargers especially ones that can be connected via WIFI that can control when you charge. This reduces demand on their system during high use periods and gives you a discounted price per KWH.

I've been watching this company. They appear to be close to large scale production. https://lyten.com/lyten-achieves-manufacturing-milestone-now-producing-lithium-sulfur-batteries-at-greater-than-90-yield/

Yes, it is very true that equipment has a maximum circuit rating because most equipment contains internal wiring and components that are also protected by the feeder breaker. The installation instructions for the Emporia EVSE I installed had this caution in bright yellow "CAUTION: To reduce the...

My guess is that it's a 120VAC TT-30 so something like this adapter will let you plug in the Ford EVSE. Will only charge at about 3 miles per hour. https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-L5-30P-TT-30P-Splitter-Journeyman/dp/B09CRQQN4D

Are you sure it's a 240VAC 14-30 and not a 120VAC TT-30?

If you have PAAK set up, you can set the car to auto lock with a chirp when you walk away from it. It will also chirp and lock if you don't open the door within a few minutes after a walkup PAAK unlock.

It's not just cheap 14-50 outlets that are a problem, people with Level 1 EVSEs also have meltdown/fault issues with cheap 5-15s and 5-20s outlets. I recommend heavy duty hospital grade 20A 5-20s be used even on a 15A breaker. Recommended my in-laws do this when they bought a plug-in hybrid...
